[QUOTE="Nithsdale, post: 7560744, member: 17508"] So why the 'hire purchase' with that 1 particular ram 'breed' and not the others? What's so special about the Aberdale that it warrants to be sold in this way? Given the pricing system Innovis use in their sales - those rams are a hell of an expensive over their life. I understand fully, you use them to breed ewe lambs, but no other breed/breeder has this sort of stipulation Unlike Innovis, every other breed/breeder/sale has rams of all values (EB's AND price)... you pay the price the hammer falls at - you don't pay the same, or almost as much, next year for that ram again. 1 off payment and the ram is yours for life, or you can sell him on and get some money back if you decide you don't like him. I suspect Innovis don't give you any money back if a tup isn't liked after you see his lambs on the ground? You don't need to sell me on the drawbacks of the BFL life expectancy, you may be told they have a short life - I have the first hand experience 🤣 but I bet an awful lot of Aberdales "die" within the first year of 'purchase'. Unless, ofcourse, Innovis come and collect the carcase to make sure it has actually died... [/QUOTE]
